FYI: RFR: 8244224: Implementation of JEP 381: Remove the Solaris and SPARC Ports

[Mikael Vidstedt]

The change has now been integrated[1]. A huge thank you to everybody who was involved in the making, reviewing, and testing of this!

I have a list of ~20 follow-ups which I’ll be filing JBS issues for, none of which are critical for JDK 15. Some of them are localized and straightforward, e.g. remove STACK_BIAS from hotspot. Others are a bit more nebulous, in particular things like “clean up code comments”.

Final webrev here for completeness: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mikael/webrevs/8244224/webrev.final/open/webrev/

Cheers,
Mikael
